Pendragon I read the fourth book first when I was 10 and slowly drifted away from starting the series from the beginning cause of school. 10 years later after trying to remember the name I finally found it and 22 yeare old I still love the series!! Great read if you are interested in sci-fi and time travel!!!

Excellent Read I read this book back in elementary school, and now as a college student I can still recall the specifics of this book. The story is so engaging that I sometimes catch myself daydreaming parts of the story book to this day.

Awesome series.... I've read the whole series. You are entering a new world of fantasy! You will travel to many different dimensions undiscovered by any author before. Enjoy. Well worth your time!! Hobe ho!!

Amazing I read this series jumping around because I was never able to find a place that had them all. But thinking back to all the ones I've read it was intoxicating to imagine as you read to really feel like your in the book with them or watching a movie. Great read.
